RE: A89: Which is better?
Hehe.
Have fun learning assembly if you are a newbie to programming. It will take
some time. C is fairly easy but there isn't any really good documentation on
it. I started making a game in assembly and it took me a long time to do
anything, then when I heard about C I jumped right on it. But what I have
come to find out is that there are something's I wish I could convert back
to doing in assembly. Well anyways if you program in C your programs may
very well end up bigger and slower than if you programmed in assembly (it
all depends). But if you program in assembly it will take you a lot longer.
Or you can just etch it right on to the board like our friend Robin here.

Real Programmers (the kind who don't eat.. they drink Mt Dew) don't program
in
high level languages.
Real Programmers use binary code.
If they feel like being prissy.
If you want any respect on this list, you must buy yourself a chunk of
silicon
and hand-etch your code onto it, then solder it into your calculator.
That's the sort of thing a Real Programmer would do.
